Mixed home styles overlooking the mountains of the Front Range

Carefully arranged residential streets with thriving lawns and late 20th-century homes characterize the look of Willowbrook. This suburban Denver area community is tucked in between Lakewood, a two-time winner of the National Civic League’s All-America City award, and Morrison, a small mountain town known the world over for its unique music scene and excellent outdoor recreation options. The neighborhood is bordered to the north by Highway 285 and Bear Creek Lake Park, a 2,600-acre retreat for camping, hiking and golfing.

Finely crafted streets, rancher and split-level homes

Willowbrook’s neatly organized rows of streets give it a unique consistency compared to the twists and turns of its neighboring areas. Shady trees and modest, fenced yards separate ranch and split-level houses from each other, with vinyl and brick exteriors and neutral colors. Most of the area’s homes were built in the 1970s, with a small selection of condominiums in the area. Almost all homes in the area feature one- to two-car garages and concrete driveways, and many of the area’s interiors have been updated. Toward the area’s southern border on Marlowe Avenue, homes open up to views of the Rocky Mountains’ Front Range. Home prices can stretch from about $300,000 for a one- to two-bedroom condominium up to the $740,000s for a home with about 3,000 square feet of space. About 90% of the area’s residents live in owned homes, with a median household age of about 41 years old.
